picture "lags" as audio continues

[Hybrid360]

Hi there,

I've been using movie maker in combination with Macromedia Flash 8 to create
animated films. However, there are certain clips which make the picture in
movie maker "lag," moving the timeline slidebar to try to move away from
those clips takes a few moments for it to work, rather than it being
instantaneous under normal conditions.

It's almost impossible to work properly with the clips "lagging," and if it
helps the clips that I am using are all in an uncompressed AVI format. I've
thought that the massive size of the clips is what is making the program lag,
but many other clips of the same format work perfectly.

Is there anything that I can do to fix this?

Thanks,

UPDATE: I have been esporting my newest videos in 32 bit colour w/ alpha
rather than the usual 16 bit. All of my new videos are lagging in movie
maker.
A program shouldn't just roll over and die because of a high quality source!

Uncompressed avi at 65gb per hour and a massive data rate will certainly be
what is causing your lag, unless of course you have some sort of mega super
computer.
MM is not designed to work with such files, you are better using dv.avi
files at 13gb per hour size and 25Mbps data rate.
